Robin Jaqua, a philanthropist and University of Oregon donor, died Sunday, Nov. 9, at age 94. The cause of death was not given.
Jaqua and her husband, John Jaqua, supported many university projects throughout the years. The couple donated to the Law School, the Knight Library, the Natural and Cultural History Museum, and many others. Several buildings on campus bear the family name. The John E. Jaqua Law Library and the Jaqua athletic center are both named after John, who died in 2009. Robin founded the Robin Jaqua Archetypal Library in the College of Education.
The couple have been longtime residents of Oregon and supporters of the university. Moving to Oregon in the 1940s, Robin Jaqua studied counselling at UO, eventually obtaining a master’s degree in 1971 and a doctorate in 1975.
She was an internationally recognized Jungian analyst, which contributed to her founding of the Archetypal Library.
UO has said a memorial is being planned.
